Today, though, I want to talk about something I’m excited to share—I’ve finally made 30 POE 2 Divine Orbs. That’s right, this is my first time reaching this amount of currency, and I wanted to take you through exactly how I did it. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t just one method—it took a mix of mapping, crafting, and a bit of learning along the way. If you’re aiming to reach those high div amounts, hopefully, this will give you some insights into how to build your stash of currency in Path of Exile 2. So let’s dive into it.
The Power of Mapping: Making Currency the Easy Way
Let’s start with mapping. Now, mapping has always been one of the easiest and most consistent ways to generate currency in Path of Exile 2. I mean, I’m sure you all know that by now, right? But the big key to it is juicing your maps properly. In my case, it’s what made up a huge chunk of my 30 divines—probably around 10 div over the last couple of days.
The process is relatively simple but effective. What I do is focus on tower modifiers. Now, let me break it down. In mapping, the main goal is to increase both quantity and rarity as much as possible. Quantity boosts how many items drop from your mobs, while rarity increases the chances of those items being valuable. That means more chances to get currency items like exalted or divine orbs, plus better odds of those items being valuable enough to sell for good profit.
The key here is to juice the towers. The towers in PoE2 are extremely helpful because you can stack modifiers that enhance your map’s loot pool. Just make sure to load them up with as many of those quantity and rarity boosts as possible. I personally like to just go full throttle on them and get maps that are literally covered with modifiers that amplify the loot chances. You might feel like you’re sacrificing a bit of time running those maps, but trust me—it’s worth it. I can’t tell you how many maps I’ve run with those buffs and how much more currency I made.
The towers themselves have their fair share of hate in the community, but in my opinion, they’re a solid addition. Sure, they’re a bit of a drag to run, but the return you get makes it feel like it’s all worth it. So, if you’re not already, use your towers to juice your maps and watch the currency roll in.
Crafting: A Powerful Yet Underrated Currency Generator
Next, I want to talk about crafting. Now, I’m still a bit of a noob when it comes to crafting, but I’ve learned enough to make a solid chunk of currency by selling crafted items. Crafting might seem daunting at first, but trust me, if you find the right pieces to craft on, it can be incredibly rewarding.
I’d say I made about 5 divines from crafting alone, which isn’t too shabby for someone still getting the hang of it. Here’s the trick—if you find a decent base item with good potential, go ahead and craft it. Don’t be afraid to use your resources and try to make something good. Sure, you might fail, and you might waste a few exalts, but when you get a good item, it’s totally worth it.
For example, I had this piece sitting on my stash for a while. It wasn’t selling at first, but I decided to lower the price and craft it a bit more. After a few tries, I ended up crafting it to +6 to all stats, which made it a pretty solid item for players looking to beef up their build. Now it’s sitting at a higher price point, and I’m just waiting for someone to snap it up. Items like these can net you a lot of currency if you play the market right.
When it comes to crafting, don’t worry too much about the little stuff like exalted or corrupted orbs—those are mostly for your mapping and experimentation. Divines are the main currency to hold onto. Use them to buy the big-ticket items for your core build and make sure you’re stacking up enough resources to keep crafting. I’ve found that crafting and selling is a good balance to mapping if you’re looking for alternative ways to make currency.
Understanding the Market and Price Checking
Something that goes hand-in-hand with crafting is knowing your market. Price checking can be a game-changer, and while I don’t always use price checkers, it’s important to have a rough idea of what your items are worth. I’ve seen a few items sitting in my stash for days, but once I check their prices against the current market, I sometimes realize I’ve been overselling them.
For instance, I had a piece with a solid 30-27 stat spread. But when I checked, I realized it wasn’t worth the price I was asking for. After tweaking the price a bit, it started moving faster. Being aware of the market and adjusting your prices accordingly can make all the difference in whether your items sell or just sit in your stash gathering dust.
If you’re new to crafting, it’s best to start small. Don’t get discouraged if your crafted items don’t sell right away. If you keep working at it and pay attention to the market, you’ll get better at knowing when to hold and when to sell.
Future Plans: Exploring Chaos and Trial Maps
Looking ahead, I plan on doing even more experimentation with trial maps and chaos maps. I’ve seen people talk about the profitability of these types of maps, and I’m excited to test them out in more depth. As of now, though, I’m still perfecting my build. I’m not the best boss killer yet, but once I get that dialed in, I think I’ll have even more ways to make currency by running these maps.
I’ve been debating whether to invest in a map stash tab, but for now, I’m content with using the regular stash. Once I get a bit more organized, I’ll likely grab that stash tab to better manage all the maps I’m hoarding. Trial maps seem like they could be a solid way to build up currency, so I’ll keep you all updated on my findings once I get deeper into them.
Wrapping It Up
So, there you have it, guys—30 divines, made mainly through mapping, crafting, and a little market savvy. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, but it’s a combination of methods that helped me build up that stash. Mapping is the backbone of this method, especially with the power of juicing towers. Crafting has been rewarding once I started experimenting more, and finally, keeping an eye on market prices ensures I don’t undersell my hard work.
I’m still learning and evolving in Path of Exile 2, and I’ll keep you guys updated as I progress. Hopefully, this video gave you some good insights into how you can make Path of Exile 2 Currency and what strategies you might want to implement in your gameplay.
